Dear Ivica,

You mentioned about a 5 goods AIDS model but you code looks like a 6
goods model.
You defined 25 parameters but for a 5 goods model, you should define
only 22 parameters and for a 6 goods model, parameters should be 30.

You should therefore define tempname a6 b6 and so on for 6 goods model
or delete scalar `a6' = 1-`a1'-`a2'-`a3'-`a4'-`a5' for a 5 goods
model.
Moreover, you must define tempname and scalar for lnexp because it
appears in your equations.

Christian
